2GB VRAM for 900p

[MrGohut]

Hello guys 😀
I thought about second hand R9 280x, but later i realised that i prefer new card rather than from someone, so i decided to buy R9 380 / GTX 960 (i don't know yet) but with 2GB VRAM and here is the question. Is 2GB enough for 900p?

 

[Geek Jed]

2gb is enough for 1080p

2gb is enough for 1080p

If you keep MSAA turned down maybe.

 

[MrGohut]

Great 😀 So from "for 1080p is enough" to "maybe on 900p" :v
I'll try to buy 380 with 4GB, but i'm pretty sure that i'll be able to buy only with 2GB.

 

[MrGohut]

Okay and what about this:

True, but I had a 770 gtx 2GB and I ran BF4 on ultra and with msaa 4x and i was getting 30 to 40 fps

30/40 fps on a GTX 770? That can't be right, I got higher on my 660 😵
BF4 uses about 1.8GB VRAM for me, but yes, it will depend on the game, GTA 5 for example, anything above Normal will use more than 2GB.

lol if you send me some proof, I might Just believe you. yeah gta 5 is more of a cpu game though.

I don't have my 660 anymore but I'm assuming you turn off the post processing stuff? All that does is make your game blurrier AND give you less performance. Other than that I ran Ultra, had my fps capped at 60, sometimes dipped to 50/55.

lol then how can I believe you? It doesn't matter what we say to each other, we will still end up not believing
one or the other.

Anyway... 😀
I've decided to add some cash and buy this: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5535#ov
Here it's about $250
I think this is best offer for this price :s

 

[Geek Jed]

Get it man, just make sure you don't get a 770 to game on it, make sure you get a 660. Because for some ****ed up reason, a 660 is better!

 

[Sergeant_Sneaky]

When people misunderstand everything
Geek Jed: If you want to go through all of the videos on my channel to find when I had a 660, be my guest, the fps counter is always activated on my BF4.

 

[Geek Jed]

Hey Sergeant, I beleave you, i do, cause I just put it my 770 back in to test and I got 90-120 fps, so I apoligize. I don't know where I got 30 to 40 fps.

No problem, I've made the same mistake before, little things like that are hard to remember sometimes haha 😛

Hmm i've just heard, that for i5-4460 r9 380 is bad pick, is that true? If it is i have to buy http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5401#ov

Some people say it is, but I don't see how.

Why on earth would they say that? Its a very well balanced match and should perform quite well. As for a 2GB card with a 1600x900 monitor that's just fine. You don't need a 4GB for that low of a resolution. I have a GTX 960 2GB (with an i5-4590) on a 1680x1050 monitor and it works great - usually with max or close to max quality settings in most games.

 

[MrGohut]

Okay so i hace more money now. I just ordered GTX 960 4GB Windforce x2, new case (SilentiumPC Gladius M20 Pure Black) and cooler for CPU. I think that will be fine

I didn't know what to choose - GTX or AMD but i had AMD for a very long time and i'm just very curious how it will be on nvidia 😀
